Re: intake painting ??'s It was very easy! If you know how to take off bolts, you should have no problem.. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" /> Check mine out! Now I just need some FRCs.

Re: intake painting ??'s wow, that really cleans it up!! I'm plannin on cast aluminum for mine, since I have a black car, but the red wouldn't look too bad either. Mind if I ask how you got rid of your egr?? Or is your's a newer model? Get some FRC's and that will look VERY clean!! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

Re: intake painting ??'s WOW! Your intake manifold looks awesome. Get yourself some black FRC's and your in business. You've got me thinking about painting mine. Hmmm, I wonder what color would look good with my bright rally red Z28? I think even a glossy black would make a world of difference...

Re: intake painting ??'s I think that red intake like he has would look awesome on rally red, only problem is, you would pretty much be copying him. Guess that's the highest form of flattery though. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> I'm thinkin about doin mine gloss black. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

Re: intake painting ??'s Mine was painted by a professional body shop with automotive BC/CC paints to match the Sebring Silver of my car. It's holding up great. Heat is no issue.

Re: intake painting ??'s Thanks guys! Heat is not a problem for me, either, but the plastic can only get so hot.. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />
As far as the EGR goes, I just took it out! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

Re: intake painting ??'s I just picked up a Holley/Lingenfelter aluminum intake for a good price, going to polish it and see how it comes out. Think I should bolt it up or just sell it polished?? I can make a profit off of it on ebay I know. I just don't know if I should use it myself or not. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" />

Re: intake painting ??'s When I have my heads and cam installed I'm going to take my intake to a body shop near my work and having them painted bright metalic silver to match all the other silver stuff I have.
Mark IXZD 150: I was already thinking of having my intake painted along time ago when I saw a pic of your intake. It looks awsome. Hope you dont upset because I'm having mine painted the same color, and if you do oh well <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="gr_tounge.gif" /> . You are in IL and I'm in CA.

BYW your link doesnt seem to be working anymore. Any way you could send me a pic so I can show my girlfriend what my intake is going to look like.
